Craciously Received. 4
M,not Tribune.

Rev. E. s. Taylols praying band ac-
companied by 0. A. Boynton and other
assistants arrived en- Minot Thursday
with the big tent. The pavilion is
pitched in the vicinity Of the Tribune
Office, and Judging from indications the
company is doing thriving religious
business. Minot is free, wide open
place, whose inhabitants believe most
emphatically in attending to their own
business, and always ready to welcome
any law abiding citizen or class Of citizens
within her gates. Notwithstanding the
fact that some papers representing towns
and cities that have long passed their
days Of usefulness. in business sense,
have appeared to take delight in casting
unjust reflections on the moral standing
Of Minot, we apprehend that Rev. Taylor
and his band will be treated with as much
respect and consideration as if they were
laboring In the puritanically inclined city
Of jamestown. Minot bars no one SO
long as they mind their own business
and do not transgress the laws of the
land.

Cemetery Regulations.

= : II
Rev. Father Cassiday has had printed
the rules and regulations regarding the
new cemetery which was dedicated by
Bishop Marty few weeks since. The
lots are now ready for purchase and are
14x14feet. The price Of lots is $40 each;
half lots 81; single grave IS. Part cash
is required on these sales, balance in
notes. The lots can not be conveyed or
sold by the owners, and proprietors are
required to keep them in good order at
their own expense. No wooden crosses
or head boards are permitted except for
,paupers and no other enclosures for lots
than chain or wooden fences. The or
namentation Of the cemetary will no
doubt be increased each year and the
home of the dead become, as it should,
place of beauty and attractiveness.

Grand Forks Plaindeaier: The city of
jamestown has been undergoing siege
of strict enforcement Of the Sunday Or
.linanoes. The effect Of rigid enforce
ment was annoying in great many
instances, as we'll rs impracticable and
unjust. The city council. therefore, at
it's Last session repealed the entire Sun
day ordinance. The trouble in such
cases is generally with the laws them
selves They are made too strict and too
broad. and it is too much to ask OF con-
scientious executive to take an oath to
enforce the laws, and then enact such
laws that the public won't tolerate their
enforcement. The remedy lies in more
iudicious line Of legislation. Legislation
should be made to conform more closely
to practical requirements and necessities.
Public necessity. requires that drug

then become practicable. Too many
goody good laws necessarily superinduces
loose administration.
Board Of Education.

The board of education met last even
ing and the most important business yet
transacted this year was the selection Of
teachers for the following year. The fol-
lowing were re-engaged: Prof. Denny,
Mrs. Peck, Mrs. Porter, Mrs. Merry, Miss
Minnis, Miss Lyon and Miss Blood. Miss

salary Of one or two teachers but nothing
material.
Arrangements were made by Prof. Den
ny to hold the annual examination of
teachers in the city schools, in the high
school rooms, beginning July 9Th, 1887.

What About The Fourth?

There don't seem to be much Of sti1
about celebrating the Fourth. Every.
body will probably picnic to suit them.
selves and manage in one way or another
to remember what they should be thank
full for in the matter of liberty, lemonade
and the, pursuit of happiness. The
militia company and the w. G. 7. U. are
the only organizations that have any pro-
iects in view for the celebration Of the
day. Many of the other towns of the
vicinity will do the occasion strict justice,
some of them will have swell times.
The small boy is already abroad with
his bomb crackers and any attempt to
disperse him, or fool him out of the day

The gun clubs have been agitating a
match shoot for purses, and as great
interest is now taken in these organiza-
tions, perhaps that event will be as
interesting as can be had. The Bismarck
clubs are to shoot match for four prizes,
and in absence of any kind of celebration
here the city clubs might create a deal of
interest by doing something Of the same
kind also. The following is the capital
city program for the shoot.
First event, purse 500 ten Peoria
blackbirds.
Second event. purse $500, ten live
birds; entrance $2.OO, birds extra.
Third event, purse $50, six single and
two pair Peoria blackbirds, entrance
$1.5O, birds included.
Fourth event, purse $500, ten live
birds, thirty-one yards rise, use of both
barrels, entrance $500, birds extra.
Shooting will commence at 2 p. IN. and
be governed by national association rules.
All purses to pro-rate or fill. Five per
cent of all prizes reserved for use of
club.

DEATH BY ACCIDENT.


Train and Is Killed.
A. N. PARCEL, front brakeman on train
No. 13, the freight due here at 30 q. M,
met his death near Spiritwood Sunday
morning, presumably by falling between
the tender and first car of the moving
train and being run over. When the tram
left Spiritwood in response to the whistle
of the engineer both Parcell and the
rear brakeman unloosed the brakes, the
latter returning to his usual place in the
caboose and PARCEL starting for the cab
where the front brakeman generally
stays. But he did not reach the cab, how
ever. Parcell's absence was not noticed
until the train reached jamestown when
it was found that he was not on the
train. The circumstances were such that
fears of an accident were entertained and
accordingly an engine was sent back to
look for the missing man. He was found
short distance this side of Spiritwood
lying about thirty feet from the track.
He had evidently missed his footing and
fallen to the ground when endeavoring
to leap to the tender of the engine. This
view is strengthened from the fact that
his lantern was found on the tender in a
battered and !. smashed condition, as
though caught and wrenched from the
falling man. When found life was ex-
tinct, but death came not instantane eously
as the mangled man had dragged himself
about thirty feet from the train and had
taken off one shoe. One arm and leg was
severed from the body which was other
wise badly mangled. On the arrival Of
the body at Jamestown it was Immediate
sly given in charge Of the undertaken and
encased in casket.
Coroner Thoroid was notified of the
occurrence and empanneled a jury con-
sisting Of Ed. Lathrop, D. G. Buck and
Fred. Clark, who held an inquest Sunday
morning. Conductor Clark and rear
brakeman Montgomery were examined as
witnesses and the facts elected were SUBJ
stantially the same as the above. The
jury returned verdict of accidental
death with no blame attached to either
the railroad company or it's employees.
The deceased was young man of
about 25 years and is said to leave wife
and child at Westfeld, ILL.,, where his par
ents reside. Parcell' was of modest and
unassuming disposition and had a large
number of friends here to whom he was
familiarly known as shorty" He had
worked for the railroad company num-
Der OF years, having formerly run on the
Valley road.
Relatives at Westfield were advised of
his fate and yesterday afternoon the body
was inferred in Highland Home cemetery.
The funeral was arranged by the railroad
officials with all possible care and regard.
Rev. N. d. Tanning spoke few we'll cho-
sen words at the grave after which the
body was laid in it's final resting place.
